LETRA DE CANCIONES:
"I Just Want To Celebrate"
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on, anyhow
That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living,
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Had my hand on the dollar bill
And the dollar bill blew away
But the sun is shining down on me
And it's here to stay
That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of living
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down,
Don't let it turn you around and around
And around and around
Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no
I'm using up my time by feeling fine, every day
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate
Aw, yeah
I just want to celebrate yeah yeah
Another day of living, yeah yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of livin', yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down, no, no
Don't let it turn you around and around,
And around and around, and around
Around round round
'round and around round round round
don't go 'round
"Hey Big Brother"
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
watching the time passing by.....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother
Keep them satisfied
Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
(instrumental solos)
(speaking)
Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
No he'll never get me, no no no no...
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother...
(repeat until the end
"Get Ready"
THE TEMPTATIONS - GET READY
I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do
(You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do
(You're outta sight)
So fee fi, fo fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus:
And I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready, so get ready
I'm gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, so get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you
(It's alright)
Lovin' you're gonna miss, and the time it takes to find you
(It's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus
(Get ready)
All my friends should want you too, I understand it
(Be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do, the way I planned it
(Be outta sight)
So twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out baby 'cause here I come
Chorus
"Warm Ride"
Come to me baby, I got something to say
I been changin' your direction every step of the way
Now I bring emotion and I bring desire
And I bring the potion to set you on fire
I know you need me, there can be no doubt
You got me held inside your love and I can't get out
We must surrender to the powers that be
The angel in you and the devil in me
Warm ride, warm ride, baby just the way you are
Warm ride, warm ride, we can reach the highest star
Now I warn you women, we are two of a kind
And we both know what's coming
We got one thing in mind
I bring the pleasure, satisfaction you learn
And I got the strength to make you burn, baby, burn
Warm ride, warm ride, baby just the way you are
Warm ride, warm ride, we can reach the highest star
Why are we waiting for this love on the rise
And why am I searching for the magic that's in your eyes
We must surrender to the powers that be
The angel in you and the devil in me
Warm ride, warm ride, baby just the way you are
Warm ride, warm ride, we can reach the highest star
Warm ride, warm ride, baby just the way you are
Warm ride, warm ride, we can reach the highest star

"Born To Wander Ext"
There's nothin' you can do girl,
There's nothin' you can say.
You're talkin' to the sky girl,
I just got to get away.
Got to hear the wind song
Singin' in my ear.
Got to get it on girl
And I'll never make it here.
'Cos the wind was my mother,
The highway is my brother.
I was born to wander,
And it's time for movin' on.
I was born to wander,
Turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone.
I'm just followin' my heart girl,
And it's followin' the sun.
Lookin' for an answer
I know may never come,
But I gotta chase my dreams girl,
Like a river to the sea,
Got to find a rainbow,
That's waitin' there for me.
'Cos the wind was my mother,
The highway is my brother.
I was born to wander,
And it's time for movin' on.
I was born to wander,
Turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
"(I Know) I'm Losing You"
Your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', woman I feel it fade
Ah, woman, woman your touch, your touch has gone cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Ooo babe, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's there everywhere
Baby, baby, babe, I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face, I see
I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's takin' my place
Ooo baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness you feel inside
Oo babe, I'm losing you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
Ah woman, can't you see what I'm goin' through
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't stand the thought of losing you
